If you are using XP, go to control panel/regional and language
options/languages/details if you are in UK and using a UK keyboard make sure
you have English (United Kingdom) as the only setting, if not "add" it then
delete whatever was there originally.

Well, I'm a Yank so that's generally what I want. Windows thinks you
are using a U.S. keyboard and you want one of the U.K. keyboard
options.

From XP help and support:

To add another keyboard layout or Input Method Editor (IME)
Open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel.
On the Languages tab, under Text services and input languages, click
Details.

Under Installed services, click Add.

In the Input language list, click the language for the keyboard layout
or Input Method Editor (IME) you want to add.

Select the Keyboard layout/IME check box, if multiple options are
available, and then click a service in the list.
If Keyboard Layout/IME is the only type of text service available,
click an option in that list.
